LEXINGTON, KY. 



The Market. 



Business continues to be good. Beau- 

 ties are a little scarce at present. Other 

 roses are in good supply and selling well. 

 There is a fairly gooji supply of carna- 

 tions and the demand is also good. 

 Longiflorums of good quality are on the 

 market, but the call for them is a trifle 

 slow. Violets are not moving so well as 

 they did. The demand for bulbous stock 

 is not as good as it ihight be. Sweet 

 peas, freesias and sweet alyssum of good 

 quality are used in funeral work. Green 

 goods are in good supply and demand. 



The weather was cloudy and cold last 

 week in this section, and has shortened 

 stock somewhat. 



V«riout Notes. 



The fifty-seventh annual meeting of 

 the Kentucky Horticultural Society is 

 held at La Grange, this week, January 

 13 and 14. 



A visit to Leonard Knight 's farm, on 

 the Harrodsburg road, found everything 

 in good shape. Mr. Knight has two 

 houses, 50x350 feet, devoted to vege- 

 tables and is harvesting a good crop of 

 lettuce. Twenty-two acres of ground are 

 used for other crops. Another house is 

 being built and will probably be used 

 for violets next year. Beets, spinach 

 and radishes are also grown by him in 

 great quantities. 



S. S. Kelley is cutting some good car- 

 nations. '* 



August Leclere, at the asylum, has 

 been on the sick list, but is able to be 

 out again. 



Fister Bros., on the Maysville road, 

 have a good crop of cauliflower and let- 

 tuce. 



J. Ferdinand Keller, manager of the 

 J. A. Keller greenhouses, is busy with 

 Easter stock and other work. 



K. H. Tacke, superintendent of parks, 

 has. been busy with landscape work. 



Mr. Moore, the florist at the State 

 University, has been cutting a good crop 

 of Marechal Niel roses. 



The Michler Bros. Co, is busy with 

 Easter and spring stock. 



Anderson & White say business is good 

 with them. They have a good stock of 

 ferns. 



Honaker is cutting good roses and 

 carnations. 



J. P. Keller says roses and carnations 

 are in good demand with him. He was 

 also busy with funeral work last week. 

 / Blue Grass. 



I AM much pleased with the Bbview 

 and like it the best of any paper for the 

 trade. — ^J. M. Hazlxwood, Vancouver,

 Mrs. Tl. W. Lawson in color, and a continuous 

 bloomir. Worthy of trial by all.
